Custom Property Description
VirtualMachine.ScriptPath.Decrypt
Allows vRealize Automation to obtain an encrypted string
that is passed as a properly formaed
VirtualMachine.SoftwareN.ScriptPath custom
property statement to the gugent command line.
You can provide an encrypted string, such as your
password, as a custom property in a command-line
argument. This allows you to store encrypted information
that the guest agent can decrypt and understand as a valid
command-line argument. For example, the
VirtualMachine.Software0.ScriptPath =
c:\dosomething.bat password custom property string
is not secure as it contains an actual password.
To encrypt the password, you can create a
vRealize Automation custom property, for example
MyPassword = password, and enable encryption by
selecting the available check box. The guest agent decrypts
the [MyPassword] entry to the value in the custom
property MyPassword and runs the script as
c:\dosomething.bat password.
n
Create custom property MyPassword = password
where password is the value of your actual password.
Enable encryption by selecting the available check box.
n
Set custom property
VirtualMachine.ScriptPath.Decrypt as
VirtualMachine.ScriptPath.Decrypt = true.
n
Set custom property
VirtualMachine.Software0.ScriptPath as
VirtualMachine.Software0.ScriptPath =
c:\dosomething.bat [MyPassword].
If you set VirtualMachine.ScriptPath.Decrypt to false,
or do not create the
VirtualMachine.ScriptPath.Decrypt custom property,
then the string inside the square brackets ( [ and ]) is not
decrypted.
VirtualMachine.SoftwareN.ISOName
Species the path and lename of the ISO le relative to the
datastore root. The format
is /folder_name/subfolder_name/file_name.iso. If a
value is not specied, the ISO is not mounted.
VirtualMachine.SoftwareN.ISOLocation
Species the storage path that contains the ISO image le
to be used by the application or script. Format the path as it
appears on the host reservation, for example
netapp-1:it_nfs_1. If a value is not specied, the ISO is
not mounted.
